I have did several (50+) updates from 5.4-RELEASE to a custom build of 6.1-RELEASE through a similar way that Colin has posted on his website[1]. Basically it's fairly safe to upgrade 5.4-R to 6.1-R by either src/ update (src/UPDATING) or binary update way. Note that if you want a "clean" system then you will want to do "make delete-old" and "make delete-old-libs", you are advised to install compat5x before removing the libraries.
